3 Are Legends & Angger Dimas- Phat Brahms (Coone Remix)

It’s time to take it back to 2012 and revisit the irresistible smash that was 3 Are Legend & Angger Dimas’ festival stormer “Phat Brahms.” Mainstage production was built around the deliciously catchy melody from Johannes Brahms’ “Hungarian Dance No. 5” to create one of the definitive tracks of the EDM explosion. 
 
Now, Belgian producer Coone breathes new life into the original with a manic hardstyle take on the classic. The world is a lot faster than it was in 2012 and Coone pushes the envelope with this lightning strike. It’s phatter than ever.

Beat Awfuls- Ego Death Cult

“Ego Death Kult describes a moment when an oppressive reality becomes so clear that it flashes neon with ridiculousness, like an exit sign. The hypnotic guitar riff forces out an instinctive head-bob, ad infinitum, becoming terminally driving— like a cult imperative. The lyrics play against this hypnosis with almost flippant affirmations like, “let it all out.” While we are busy trying to figure out if this is an entreaty for or against the cult, we get the sense that— hey, either way, I think we’re going to make it out of this thing alive.” -Dave Vicini

Gone To Color- Just Smile (Oval Remix)

“In the book, Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music, Markus Popp (Oval) describes his albums Ovalprocess (2000) and Ovalcommers (2001) as “an alternative rhetoric to the production of electronic music.” Twenty years after Popp described challenging the rhetoric, we think he continues to challenge it today. Hearing someone say they are “setting up an environment” or “working with an environment” for a remix speaks to the generative scope of the process. The result becomes a really interesting, unique remix. 

Lambchop’s Kurt Wagner is featured on the original song “Just Smile.” Oval’s remix treats the voice as a color embedded among other timbres, weaving through a fragmented, pulsing, textural landscape. The song is accompanied by a video Directed by Andrew Peterson and Produced by Andrew Peterson and Merchandise’s Carson Cox.” -Gone To Color
